1 star as using app with Always turn on screen setting drains battery. One of the best pomodoro apps. Loads of features, colours, and sound effects. This app does not intrude your work, every feature can be customised. Very effective design. Suggested feature: Turn on the screen and mobile vibration when any work or break session is complete, by default. This setting should also work even when the Always turn on screen setting is switched off. Thanks to developer for making this great app.

There's a problem with working in the background while other apps are used - it tends to stop working during breaks when I use other apps: the small icon disappears from the top of the screen indicating that the Pomodoro app has shut down (once again), which means it cannot be relied on for alerts and measuring the time. I love the concept and the simplicity, but this needs to be fixed.

Helps me take breaks, I always neglect my health when I work, so this app helps! It would be nice if we could colour code our seperate activities. I use this app for school, and I allocate specific colours to each of my subjects, so it would be nice to be able to pick the colour of my tags (for when I'm looking back over at the statistics of what I've done) It also could be helpful to be able to save tags, so we can reuse them easily, so we don't have to type them each time. Love this app!

Good app. I think it needs a slider to adjust the timing of the Pomodoros from the landing screen itself. Also, it would be beneficial if you could add a way to start a new Pomodoro from the notification bar itself after tapping "Stop". Good work with everything else! Thanks for this useful app.

The app is simple and great. To Improve: 1. The settings is too cluttered. You should categorise and classify them (use UI-based classification and lighten the background around them). 2. Also, you should give an option to import audio and play the native sounds of the app so that users can know what they are looking out for. 3. Finally, for auto-next sessions, there should be an option to schedule a delay of up to 1 minute so that users can prep themselves after break before beginning work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This productivity app is fantastic! It's a game-changer. One small suggestion: Adding an option to hide text and buttons while in full-screen mode would be amazing. And allow users to customize the timer's position to prevent screen burn-in. I believe this feature would significantly enhance the user experience for many. Thank you for creating such a useful app. I look forward to seeing this improvement in future updates."

Handy and stable Pomodoro timer. One of my favourite Pomodoro. Reliable. Easy control ⏯️. Control from lock screen, and notification panel, as well . Widgets are paid. In the notification panel, it shows how much time has passed since the timer stopped and paused⏳. There's a pause button.

Simple, easy to use, and effective. It's really helped me improve my productivity and I find all the current optionality relevant and practical. The only feedback I have is could you please explain what the summary stats mean? The number of pomodoros one is fine. But I don't really understand what the concentration value is referring too, or what the average value is an average of. Maybe I'm dense, but there are probably other dense people like me.

A well-rounded Pomodoro timer. A few changes to make it great: * Ticking background sounds would loop smoothly instead of pausing between loops * An option to set a warning chime before end of work or break with separate warning times for work and breaks (e.g. 5 minutes before end of work and 1 minute before end of break) * Separate background sounds for short breaks and long breaks (e.g. so long break could be silent) To make it exceptional: * Background sounds could be links to YouTube videos

A fantastic app. It does everything I want it to do and nothing I don't. I love the "keep alive" feature that lets me prop my phone up on my desk and leave it alone while I work. I also love the option to change the background and timer noises. I use this app every day and plan on using it for the foreseeable future.

There is no sound that indicates you've finished. The UI is very clean and I like that there aren't too many bells and whistles like other pomodoro timers have but sound or vibration to indicate the end of the time is essential. Will update review if this changes

I just started using the app today and so far I love it. I really like the option to change the background. I have used a few other Pomodoro Apps and a feature I would recommend is the ability to block other apps usage/notifications to prevent you from getting distracted or a pop up when you attempt to leave the app.

Just started using the app and so far it is one of the best of this genre of work timers. Two changes I think will be appreciated-- First, make the sounds during the "work" and "break" segments be optional. I found them just irritating. Second, and this is my very personal thought, it would be really cool if I could integrate Accuradio into this app as the default "sound". I didn't see a way to get that to work.

Great overall with a few bugs. The alarms only sound if you have the ring volume turned up on your phone, so no keeping phone on vibrate. If you skip a session, it won't continue on to the next one. I just skipped the big break and took a short break instead. When the short break was over, the work session didn't start automatically, so I worked without it counting. I could do without the app calling me "idol" and other over-the-top praise. Cringey. Still, best pomodoro app I've found!

nice timer, easy. HOWEVER, I need added functionality. would be 5 stars except the way the sound works. instead of ticking each second and then stopping the ticking at the end. Im requesting no ticking during countdown and an alrm sound at the end. I listen to music while working and so I dont notice the ticking has stopped. other than that, great timer.

Excellent app. Functions well and is nice and simple. I especially like the "pause" feature, because sometimes you just need a little bit more time in a task. It would like it to include a notification one-minute before the end of a work or break period, and for the notification to vibrate stronger when the phone is on silent.

Thank you so much for this great app everything is cool the timer the stats and notification but i have a suggestion about the sound at the end of session, it doesn't work when the phone is silent i think if you add an option to channel the sound through alarm or media sound instead of the main system sound it would work. And Thanks again for your great work.

Overall a solid app, but seems to have challenges with background ticking clock sounds. Running on new Samsung Galaxy background sound will occasionally skip a tick, which is very distracting when in deep work. Can't figure out if this can be fixed. Program is in foreground when this happens. Would be 5 stars if not for this annoyance. UPDATE ON 12/18/21: With latest update still issue despite the feedback from the author, still an occasional skip of a clock tick. On latest Android.

SORRY FOR THE BOLD- LOVE THE APP true black works- looks for like B&W is for the visually impaired. Pit in high quality sounds, each their own volumes. "often, I'd just work off the sounds, with only the break times as a visual. I use gray white, orig. bars ct. down. Better dings-bings, higher quality. Timer click of a watch, to much pressure/bomb disposable stress. Tones-calm, no pressure.

Love the simplicity of this app. Does not try to do too much, and does it well. Feature request: When I am in the library (quiet zone), and have also put my phone's global sound setting onto "vibrate", then when the timer comes to end-of-session, it obviously won't be able to make its end-of-session sound: This is as it should be. But it also doesn't vibrate either. Nothing. So in this situation, I would like it to vibrate at end of session, so I am still notified, but just discreetly. Thx!
